The "Artificial Intelligence Accountability Act" establishes policies and procedures for the development, procurement, implementation, utilization, and ongoing assessment of artificial intelligence systems used by state agencies. It requires the department of administration to create an inventory of these systems and make it publicly available. The bill also establishes a permanent artificial intelligence commission to monitor the use of artificial intelligence in state government and make recommendations.
The bill defines artificial intelligence as a system that performs tasks without significant human oversight or can learn from experience and improve performance when exposed to data sets. It includes techniques such as machine learning. State agencies are defined as any office, department, board, commission, bureau, division, authority, or public corporation, agency, or instrumentality of the state, including all branches of the judiciary. The bill aims to ensure transparency, accountability, and equity in the use of artificial intelligence in state government and address concerns related to its impact on individuals and communities.
